Easter Island brings to mind history and mystery. See its giant
moai, statues of elongated human-like figures carved from volcanic
rock. They rest on stone platforms called ahus and some wear stone
headdresses. Learn about the ancient people who created these pieces
as well as the explorers who pondered over them centuries later.

The island has about 900 moai, many in and around the Rano
Raraku Quarry, with lava from the Rano Raraku volcano. They range in size from about 3 feet (1
meter) to 70 feet (21 meters) tall. Ahu Tongarikihas one of the most prestigious
displays. As you gaze at these amazing statues, marvel at the
primitive engineering that transported the heavy carvings more than
10 miles (16 kilometers) across the island. Archaeologists have
determined how the islanders used ropes, logs and human energy to
complete this work, but don’t know why. Explore distinct cultural developments over the last 1,200 years.
The date is still debated but experts believe the Polynesians arrived
in about A.D. 300 and developed moai starting about 700 A.D. but
later destroyed many to build larger ones. After resource depletion
and a fierce civil war, the local population dramatically declined.
Europeans arrived on Easter Sunday 1722, giving the island its
current name. Chile annexed the island, also known as Rapa Nui, in
1888 for sheep farming. Today tourism is the key industry.Besides its historical significance, Easter Island offers very
pleasant South Pacific beach vacation conditions. Travel to Anakena Beach on the northern shore to swim in azure waters the
color of lapis lazuli gemstones, laze on the soft white sands under
the shade of coconut palms or try bodysurfing. Gaze at the Ahu
Nau Nau, with moai that are in exceptional condition after
they were buried here in the sand for centuries.Reach Easter Island by flying from Santiago,
Chile, to Mataveri International Airport in the main city of Hanga Roa. Rent a four-wheel drive or use taxis to get around. Join a
tour for best moai access and information.
